Friends of Gloucestershire Libraries (FOGL)  produced a joint open letter to Ed Vaizey. The letter, which you can view here, is now closed for signatures, but well worth reading, along with the comments made by authors, campaigners and library supporters from across the country.

The letter wide attention and support during the short time it was open and is still being reported in the press.

The request was denied because:

Quite extraordinary that the information is not readily available if it has really already been fully collated and analysed.


FOGL have delivered the letter to Mr Vaizey.  Will it have the desired effect?  We hope so!
